Metal detecting

During the last few years, private metal detecting has increased significantly. The number of metal finds retrieved and handed in to the care of the Museum of Cultural History has tripled within the last five years.

As a supplement to these guidelines, the Museum of Cultural History has its own policy for private metal detecting, which is available via the link below. The museum is committed to ensure a best possible collaboration between the metal detectorists and heritage management, which is why the museum has compiled a guide to the best practice for metal detecting.
